    Well, we've pretty well covered the in and out of it.

    Does that mean you finished early?

    Maybe that's a little premature, but seems the subject has been well penetrated.

    Don't go getting soft on us now.

    Increased heart rate does not equal increased calorie burn
    Um... your heart is working harder, therefore burning more calories.
    Just like when you walk (as opposed to sitting still) your leg muscles are working harder & burning more calories.

    The difference (in slow v. fast heart rate) isn't great, but usually that accompanies other muscular activity, which
    does burn more calories. The heart speeds up (as does breathing) to get more oxygen to those other muscles
    that are working harder.

    It still does not mean you are burning more calories.

    I get nervous and my heart rate gets elevated, therefore I am burning more calories?

    I start smooching my beau and my heart rate gets more elevated, therefore I am burning more calories?

    I get a really fast heartbeat because of some underlying medical issue, therefore I am burning more calories?

    Any working of muscles that is not actual cardio exercise is part of one's activity level. ;)
